Dealing with weird pixelation in 3D renders

Hello, opened up a file today to work on it and it has gone the way of the loon.  Totally weird pixelation, stripes etc. 

As I rotate around the room it sometimes disappears in some shots but then comes back.

 

Using Standard Camera View and others and its the same (except Glass House, or Hand Drawn Lines.

Also there is a goofy post that appeared in the drawing and goes up to the heavens and has a line going out sideways that i can't select or layer or anything to delete.

Our workflow at our office is to store files on a Network Attached Storage Device so myself and others can access the files.

Wondering if the NAS is corrupting the files?

@BackCountryBased off of your screenshots I think you may be very far from the origin (0,0) which can cause strange behavior in the 3D camera views. 


My recommendation would be to use Edit Area (All Floors) and the Transform Replicate tool to move your design back to 0,0. 

 

Here is a Knowledge Base article that outlines this process: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00107/troubleshooting-why-materials-appear-to-flicker-when-a-camera-view-is-rotated.html 

 

Additionally you may have objects that are far away from the rest of your model, which can also cause strange issues like the ones you're seeing. 

 

This Knowledge Base article will outline how to find far away objects and move them back: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00021/troubleshooting-small-or-blank-camera-overviews.html 

 

If neither of these seem to resolve the issue I would recommend contacting Technical Support through the Technical Support Center: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00717/using-the-technical-support-center.html 

 

I hope this helps!

Tyler,

 

I moved the drawing to the 0 / 0 coordinates and the issue is still present.

If you use the Edit area tool and select everything that's visible with a large marquee selection and then use copy paste and paste this into a brand new empty plan Are the issues still there?
